It's Been Awhile..

So I know it's been awhile since I posted last, but I've been busy. Dad's GT is coming along, although we've hit a few snags.

1. Both front fenders need work. The driver side fender is kind of messed up in the front. Apparently some front end damage happened, and was repaired via bondo. The passenger side fender needs work on the top and the bottom. so now It's time for new fenders.

2. Rocker panels. I sanded about a 1/2" of bondo off of them, and discovered that they're all caved in, as well as welded to the fenders..

and the final issue is the driver side rear quarter. apparently this car was hit at some point on this side, I'm guessing. I chiseled about an inch of bondo off of it..great..Thankfully we have access to some quarter panels, but it was a bummer to see all this damage.

Here's a couple of pics:





My last Autobody class is tonight, and we're giving the GT a rest, I'll be applying a nice thick clear coat on those Rostyles that I did last year.

Oh yeah and I'll be signing up for this class again next semister..and so will my father.

I'd really like to get this car in proper order, It's a good runner, and while she looks kind of nasty these days. I know she'll look good when it's all done. It took 5 years to get the red one completed. So I shouldn't be surprized that this one is gonna take awhile..

anyway....Well that's about it at the moment. I promise to post more MG related stuff soon!
